Toronto police are investigating after one person was assaulted by multiple suspects at Woodbine Beach Park Sunday night.

Police believe the assault occurred near the public washrooms of the park at 11 p.m. They got a call about the incident 25 minutes later.

When they arrived, officers found a male victim with serious injuries. He was subsequently taken to the hospital.

“Investigators believe bystanders may have witnessed the incident or recorded the incident and shared it on social media,” police said in a news release on Tuesday, appealing for the public’s help in identifying the suspects.

Police provided limited descriptions of three suspects, and noted that one of them may have been using an e-scooter. Police believe the suspects had a dog with them at the time of the incident, which may have been injured.

They are asking anyone with information to contact them at 416-808-5500 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477). Video footage or photos can also be submitted through the police’s evidence submission page.
